I received my new Watchgecko strap yesterday and I am absolutely delighted with it. For roughly $25 US I imagine to get even a slightly better strap I'd need to spend 3 to 4 times that money. The black leather meshes superbly with the dial and the studs accentuate the tool watch aesthetic. The brushed surfaces on the studs and buckle are near a match for the watch case. Honestly this strap looks like it was made for this watch.
Here are a couple of shots.
A thought just occurred to me: Do any of you guys ever glue the sliding keeper to a specific spot near the end of the strap, so as to keep a long end more secure and not catching on things?
